Dust collector including filter cleaning mechanism

A dust collector for use with a hand-held power tool, the dust collector comprising:

• a housing;
• a telescoping suction pipe coupled to the housing and configured to telescope toward and away from the housing, the suction pipe including an outer pipe supported by the housing, and an inner pipe slidably received into the outer pipe;
• a suction fan positioned within the housing and operable to generate a vacuum in the suction pipe;
• and
• a stop assembly adjustably coupled to the housing and to the suction pipe to limit an extent to which the suction pipe telescopes toward or away from the housing, wherein the stop assembly includes
• a rail having a first end coupled to the inner pipe and a second end extending into the housing, the rail including a first bar and a second bar slidable relative to the first bar,
• a plunge depth stop fixed to the first bar and configured to selectively clamp to the second bar to limit an extent to which the suction pipe and the rail can retract into the housing, and
• an extension stop adjustably coupled along the length of the rail to limit an extent to which the suction pipe and the rail can extend from the housing.
